Interview
I applied online. Was given an online assessment that had 2 front end questions and 2 leetcode questions. After that they scheduled a recruiter round to talk about past experience and interest in ElevenLabs. I got a rejection after that.
Was a bit bummed that I did not get to proceed in the interview process. My advice would be go in prepared with strong answers before talking to the recruiter.
Initial recruiter interview, then 2 hour 'take home test' sourcing for one of their roles, then reporting back through a Loom video. I completed the test and was immediately rejected with no feedback - when I requested feedback I was ignored. Recruitment 101, when a candidate gives hours of their time for interview / tests, you reject via a call with detailed feedback - candidates can easily become customers in the future. I feel I was just used to source their role for them, and this wasn't actually a real hiring process.

If I could sum up this experience in one sentence, it’d be cringey tech bro.
Random ‘process’ which doesn’t relate to your marketing abilities and instead assesses whether you’re ‘cool’ enough to work with the best 0.08% (I’d be curious to know how that is calculated?!).
They should run hiring like professionals and assess people on merit otherwise there will be issues as ElevenLabs scale. I’d be interested to understand their diversity stats given their hiring practices.
Reminder that ElevenLabs say they’re targeting enterprise and yet don’t act like it.
